Moon Phases: Discussion

NOTE: [ [Ok.. here I go again on a discussion terms.. Please be aware that this thread is for discussions (friendly debates)and each info giving is gladly take it ] ]

The moon signifies many things for many people. Each individual has her or his own thoughts about this bright floating thing in the sky ( I know I am wordy)

For people who practice any type of magic.. [ [Witchcraft, voodoo, meditation, astrology, feng Shui etc] ] follows each phase that the moon takes.. (well some not all.. (I do it without noticing))

There are particularly few phases that most people take in count. This phases are : The full moon, The New Moon, The Blood Moon, and never the less The Blue Moon. Of course, the inter medians phases are important as well.. but it seems most people in this site give them less importance.. -_-

The moon is verry importent when I first started I medtated to the moon. But what is a blood moon??

The blood moon is when the moon looks as though it is covered in blood. It has a redish orange color to it. Beautiful. Google pics of it.

I don't do anything specifically on the phases of the moon, but I can feel a change in my energy depending on the phase.

oh that I see them a few times a month.

As healer said it.. -_- some actually related with blood such as Silver Raven Wolf.. indicates that when a woman has her menstruation that is called "blood moon" ( I believe in her book "To Ride A Silver Broomstick") but in other cases.. is different.. so it is all up to discussion.. -_-
Here are some sites.. that are good as far as I can tell..
O_o I am too lazy to write anything on my own words right now..

Today is when the MOON is the closest to the earth.. today at around 6am.. the MOON looked so beautiful.. and bright.. and It looked so fake.. O_O and I was like.. WOW.. haha it looked very big.. very very very big..

Firstly---burn the books by $RW.

Secondly--a woman's menstruation is called "Moon Time". There is a great book out there by Cornwoman called "Blessings of the Blood" (Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Blessings-Blood-Menstrual-Rituals-Women/dp/0888782993).

Thirdly--each moon phase means something different to each path. Some paths do NOT celebrate by the moon phase, but by the Solar path only. For me, I celebrate Hekate every dark moon (She is my Matron). I work spells to increase something on the new moon, and spells to decrease something on the full moon (or waning moon). My man believes that his Goddess, Diana, is earth bound during the Dark Moon, and is back to Olympus on the new moon.

Fourthly--Two dark moons in a month is often called the Sidhe Moon. It is believed that the veils between our world and the Otherworld are thin at this time, and we can make contact with the Fay much easier.

I do not have her books.. -_- and as I stated through out the thread.. "some" that implies not all.. and everything is up to discussion. ^_^ I really appreciate your info.. it is well taken.. thanks.. and for the term "time moon"
in either case.. many sites were given to expand the discussion.. but it seems few are interested.. @_@.

During the Northmen pagan times they had no blue or black moons. This is because their calender ran differently. They had 13 months in a year. I believe this to be the more natural way of telling time because it follows natural rhythms of the earth. Each month was just as long as a moon cycle and there are 13 moon cycles in a year. Therefor the blue and black moons hold no more natural magic value.

The blood moon is beautiful however many do not understand why we are seeing a record number of them in resent years. The color comes from pollution in the atmosphere. There is so much of it now that a red moon is becoming a normal thing rather than a rarity.
